As far as I know this branch exclusively uses Babe Ke. They have one in Handsworth too. It was still being built last time I was there, it's ready now. https://en-gb.facebook.com/babekegurdwara/

"In the joy of others, lies our own" - Pramukh Swami Ji

Good airport at least.

Lol. I know brother, I was joking. I do wanna go and check out his class one day though, just for observation. So this Nihang Santhiya, is this like the Nihang Taksal?

Have to register officially. Get a Nihang licence. Although there might be a provision which makes for some leeway in regards to people who take Amrit at Nihang Amrit Sanchars in the west. Check with Niddar Singh.

You my friend, are turning out to be a treasure trove of information! Dhanvaad bro. Cheers for correcting me on the shastar part. It makes sense, you know me and symbolism anyway! I actually meant it in the case of a big shastar being used to make the "point" of the bunga as monatosingh was suggesting though. Seems a bit pointless having a huge talwar in there, if you catch my drift. And where do you procure these high quality images from?

Here is what I kind of meant by how do you tie your keski. I'm not sure of the right terminology here. First step I beliieve is the "bunga", then the keski, then finally the dastaar. I remember being told how Nihangs make it so pointy; the fabric becomes intertwined with your kes. Hope this helps.

How are you tying the keski though? I sort of see what you mean. Let me see if I can find out from someone, and I'll get back to you. Yeah I get the panj shastar maryada, my point was that if you do need to use it, there's no use having it wrapped up in 10m of cloth. The whole point is that it should be ready to be deployed as and when needed.

Traffic cones could work well in theory! Well, if you tie a keski/bunga like Nihangs, and depending on the length of your kes and method of tying, I'm sure you could achieve the pointy look. Why don't you try it? I'm not sure how bamboo or a shastar would work. One whack on your dastaar and it would go flying. No shock absorption. I could be wrong. And aren't panj shastar there ready to be used if need be? No use having it wrapped up inside. Better yet, ask @Singh123456777 , he'll know.

What kind of shastar, wouldn't that be dangerous?

Well I went to an Akaali exhibition at a museum once, and they had a dastaar bunga in a glass display case, it looked solid. Either they had put something in it for the purpose of displaying it, or they really do put something in there (which could well be something conical in shape)

My bad lol. Our brother NonExistant has confused me in recent days about the nature of sarcasm, so I'm now weary. Lol btw. You never know bro, aaj kal some peeps could take it seriously.

Today, either my sarcasm detector has badly malfunctioned, or you are deadly serious. I canny tell with you youngsters.

You get different sizes depending on your Chardi Kala status.

Yeah he's the one. He has some good things to say, tries to work for the qaum in general, promotes Gurmukhi etc. His status has been reduced from to Guru to Sant, although there's no doubt many of his followers still see him as Guru. In all fairness he does tell them not to call him that. Their Samparda is working for Ekta in the Panth which is commendable. I must say, Namdharis have a solid Maryada. He is sneaky though, he still promotes Namdhari beliefs (to him and his chele Jagjit Singh was technically the last Guru) but at the same time he's more mainstream. While they don't have the level of Satkaar for SGGS as they should, they have started to address Guru Sahib as Guru. He's also met and been a guest of some prominent Gursikhs as far as I know. A warm reception usually. Some women got caught doing his Aarti recently, which landed him in some sh!t from Akal Takht however. And how do you know this wasn't the original way of Anand Kaaraj? The way they do it is probably the way it was done back in the day.

Nothing some Sukha can't fix.

These three are classics phenji, classics. Tbh though, I'd probably make a comment like the first one myself. Lol

We all know you were involved bro. Send me a letter from jail bro. See ya bro. We'll miss you bro.

IF you were planning on killing someone, and you posted it here, pretty sure you could expect a visit from MI5 or Homeland Security. So yes, you would be punished.

Milni has got to be one of the most awkward ceremonies ever: Do I greet them first? If so, hath jor ke balauna? Do I put the haar first or them? Is my haar straight? Do I put my arm around them? When do we handshake? Do we keep holding hands pretending to handshake for the photo? Do I smile in the photo? Which camera do I look at? Do my mucchan look good? Is this person gonna be an <banned word filter activated> and try and pick me up? What if he knocks my dastaar off? Am I allowed to hit him? How do I say bye? ...are just some of the thoughts which go through my mind.

Phenji, I think doing Prakash of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji would require a seperate room. In terms of Satkaar I believe the maryada doesn't differ much from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I'm not sure if you can keep Them in your bedroom, even if it is in a higher place. Gutka Sahib, Senchiya, Pothis etc, possibly. Not 100% sure though.

So much for Grist Jeevan bro. How old are you exactly?
